sans-serifhumanist sanscondenseditalic
Jornalistica Sans specimen from Hipertipo

A variable humanist sans derived from Jornalistica Roman, with a continuous axis that blends roman and italic construction simultaneously.

About

Built by removing the serifs from Jornalistica Roman and Italic, this variable typeface exposes four axes: weight, width, slant and spacing. The slant axis is more than a simple angle shift — it transitions the construction model from roman to italic, with cursive alternate glyphs for a, e, f and g activating via OpenType features to complete the shift. The result is a typeface suited to editorial and news contexts where typographic flexibility across weights and styles is essential.

Classification

The page explicitly describes it as a humanistic sans-serif, derived by removing serifs from Jornalistica Roman and Italic, retaining the humanist proportions and construction of the parent serif.
